ROSE

The Rose apple is known for its perfect balance of sweet and sour. Medium to large in size, it has a bright pinkish-red skin over a yellow background and cream-coloured, firm and juicy flesh. Its slightly tart, sweet flavour is ideal for eating fresh and for desserts, and its strong antioxidant properties make it good for health. It is harvested from late October to early November and stores well. Its thick skin keeps it fresh, but it should be kept away from sunlight.
